the amendment making suffrage free by
abolishing the tax qualification for vote.
''Second-We favor tariff for the sake
Of nurturinG American manufactures until
the industries and resources Of this coun-
try furnish its people with every item Of
consumption that they can naturally pro-
duce, and for the purpose Of protecting
home labor against foreign labor as well as
It's products. 1t is likewise the part of that
protective policy, Of which Pennsylvania
has been the parent, to protect American
workmen from the unequal and unjust
competition OF imported contract and pau
per labor, and we demand the passage Of
more vigorous national laws for the
scrutiny Of immigration and the return Of
the unfit and unworthy. In this connection
we declare our adherence Of anarchistio
ideas and propositions, destructive Of the
rights OF property and our system Of society
aud Government Their resultant viola

and extreme penalties

American marine by the provision Of boun-
ties upon exports and discriminating duties |
upon imports in American bottoms
